The formation of attitudes and values among children is an area that most people in the educational field do not give due emphasis. But the values and attitudes formed in a child during his school days have a very far-reaching consequence in his life and his contribution to the society. So inculcation and development of the right attitudes and values in our children has a vital role to play during the period of schooling.The schools are establishments to instruct the young with the right type of values, attitudes and dispositions that would support the society. In many ways they can teach and reinforce in our children attitudes towards law, government, citizenship etc. Our schools can go miles ahead to achieve the aim of development of attitudes and values with the co-operation of the eminent faculty.
